Roman Buildings

 


Front of the house or shop


Rear of the house or shop


Gangs of Rome fighters for scale


Here are two Roman buildings that I've just finished assembling. They're very nice pre-painted mdf kits with plastic pantile roofing by Empires of War. The first one is a Roman house or shop and the second one is a Roman farm house with some Gangs of Rome fighters for scale. They were easy to assemble, the only real issue I had was with the base of the farm house. While it fitted the building, it was missing the front floor of the verandah, as shown in the illustrated assembly instructions. I just added this part with cardboard and glued it to the roof supports and painted it. There is a new version of the Gangs of Rome rules coming out next year so will probably pick that up when it is published.
